Canadian wildfire smoke causes Chris Stapleton to postpone New York concert

Chris Stapleton canceled a concert in New York as Canadian wildfires continue to worsen air quality with hazardous conditions in portions of the United States.

Chris Stapleton fans in upstate New York are missing their shot of "Tennessee Whiskey." 

Stapleton postponed a performance of his "All American Road Show" scheduled for Thursday night.

"Due to the ongoing air conditions in the greater Syracuse area, tomorrow night’s show at @StJosephsAmp will be rescheduled," he tweeted to fans.

"All previously purchased tickets for the original date will be honored for the new date. We expect to have an update by mid-day June 9th."

One supporter praised Stapleton's decision to postpone the show. "Good call," the individual wrote on Twitter. "Just going to and from my vehicle today had my lungs burning. There is no way someone could sing without hurting their vocal cords. This was my Mother's Day/Birthday gift...I'll see you when you swing back!"
